Denise Richards & Heather Locklear’s Broken Friendship

By: Shannon Gossage

It has been reported that Locklear feels betrayed by Richards. Reportedly, Richards and a friend went to a Bon Jovi concert and after-party in early March and when Locklear found out she was very upset. A source close to the women said, "Heather went crazy when she learned her best friend had gone to the party. She told Denise she was a traitor who had betrayed their friendship." She allegedly even asked Richards if she was sleeping with Sambora. Richards, who wasn’t sleeping with him at that point, was reportedly so shocked she couldn’t answer. According to a source, Locklear reportedly said, "Well, I think you’ve answered the question. I never want to see you again. You no longer exist to me. It’s like you’ve died." Yikes!

Just recently the pictures of Richards and Sambora canoodling hit the Internet and newsstands. Now there are all sorts of speculation that Richards hooked up with Sambora before he was separated from Locklear and that she was the one to urge Locklear to get a divorce. Richards and Locklear became friends in 2001 after meeting on the set of Spin City. The two quickly became friends and spent this past New Year’s Eve together sans their hubbies and Richard’s was one of a few close friends to help Locklear celebrate her 44th birthday with. With friends like that…who needs enemies!

Sambora and Locklear split after Locklear allegedly found provocative pictures of Sambora’s former assistant. Divorce papers were filed on February 2. Richards has just made major headlines by filing papers alleging that her estranged husband Charlie Sheen threatened to harm her and her family, was visiting prostitutes, and enjoyed viewing underage and gay pornography. Sheen fought back saying the accusations are "vile" and a "most obvious immature and transparent smear campaign designed to hurt, embarrass and ultimately extort" him.
